Beautifully told Jeffrey.  It's always much harder for me to hike alone, and
yet I've done a lot of it too over the years.  Those feelings of sadness
even overwhelmed me when hiking alone just for a day or two when my friends
had taken a zero that I hadn't.  The trail so amplifies whatever is going on
internally, at least for me.  Much of the alone time last year was working
through the death of my parents which was not too long ago.  They gave me a
love of mountains, and trail, and they were very much with me last year as I
hiked.  I processed a lot of sadness out there, one foot in front of the
other.

Thanks,
